I expect it to generate (p<>q)<10 slightly less than 1/8 of the time and (p=q)<10 slightly more than 1/8 of the time, 9<(p<>q)<20 slightly less than 3/8 of the time, and 9<(p=q)<20 slightly more than 3/8 of the time. Regardless of my expectations I would like to see how the numbers actually come out, and to that end was attempting to test the test the code, but I can not get it to generate (print) any numbers. I am sure that I have made an error somewhere in the code, but I can not find it and am not getting any error messages. Thank you for any and all help.

I've got another one that generates the pairs very fast:
With[{disttbl =
MapAt[TransformedDistribution[{x, x}, x \[Distributed] #] &,
DiscreteUniformDistribution /@
Flatten[Table[
Flatten[Table[d, {d, {{1, 9}, {10, 20}}}, {n}], 2 - n],
{n, 2}], 1],
{{1}, {2}}]},
thedist = MixtureDistribution[{1, 3, 1, 3}, disttbl]];
rndPairs[n_] := Round@RandomVariate[thedist, n];
the "Round" is necessary because TransformedDistribution returns inexact
numbers (bug or feature?).
Have fun,
